Hi,

I got the code from http://www.rondebruin.nl/

Sub CombineAll()
Dim FilesToOpen
Dim x As Integer

On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

FilesToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(filefilter:="Microsoft Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", _
MultiSelect:=True, Title:="Files to Merge")

If TypeName(FilesToOpen) = "Boolean" Then
MsgBox "No Files were selected"
GoTo ExitHandler
End If

x = 1
While x <= UBound(FilesToOpen)
Workbooks.Open Filename:=FilesToOpen(x)

Sheets().Move After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets _
(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
x = x + 1
Wend


ExitHandler:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Sheets("start").Select

Exit Sub

ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume ExitHandler
End Sub

This is excellent code and works fine... But the files which i am trying to
merge are protected. The workbook is protected in all files. How do i solve
this...

I tried...

Workbooks.Open Filename:=FilesToOpen(x), WriteResPassword:="password"
Workbooks.Open Filename:=FilesToOpen(x), Password:="password"

please help...
Thx!
